Countdown Cabinet helps you keep important dates visible without creating an account. Create simple countdowns for birthdays, anniversaries, trips, exams, deadlines, paydays, payment milestones, retirement dates, document expirations, and custom events. Use date-only countdowns for long-term events, or turn on a target time when hours and minutes matter. Key features: - Countdown list for upcoming dates and deadlines - Categories with quick visual icons - Optional target time for same-day deadlines and appointments - Local reminders you choose per event - Home-screen widgets for selected events - Yearly repeat for birthdays and anniversaries - Search and category filters - JSON backup export/import - English and Korean language support Countdown Cabinet is local-first. Your event titles, notes, dates, and widget choices stay on your device. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no analytics. The free app may show a clearly labeled banner ad on the event list after you have events, but ads do not appear in event editing, settings, notifications, or widgets.
